Registration opens on 4 April.

Abstract submission for talks has now been extended by 1 week to Thursday 22 May, but poster submissions remain open until the registration deadline.

Final registration and payment deadline: 31 July

Registration costs £110 for staff and £95 for students, which includes lunch and coffee breaks on all three days. For those attending remotely, the fee is £10.

The meeting spans three days of traditional conference-style talks and discussion sessions. The Scientific Organising Committee (SOC) will select talks to reflect a broad range of topics, with a substantial proportion allocated to early-career researchers. This is a hybrid event, aimed at increasing accessibility for those unable to attend in person. While most talks will be presented on-site, a limited number of remote presentations will be considered upon request. We aim to ensure that everyone who submits an abstract has the opportunity to present—either as a talk or a poster.

i) Shopping Basket Selection
You can select items for purchase (Registration Fee, Accommodation if wanted) one at a time and add each to your shopping basket before paying.

ii) Guest Checkout
When you go to checkout, if you do it as a Guest rather than creating an account, please tick the box to allow your name and email to be retained so that we know you have paid.
